Gridiron60 2,555 Report Share Posted December 10, 2019 Who do you see as the front runners in SWD? I honestly don’t have a clue. I really miss the days of Scotty Ball and Darrin Martin. Those were fun guys to watch & the Richlands girls from a few years ago with the Allen girl. Tiger 2000 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gridiron60 2,555 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2019 Is the Ball girl playing for Richlands related to Scotty Ball? If so, she could be fun to watch in the next couple years if she’s got just some of his talent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mv91 259 Report Share Posted December 12, 2019 Yes, Denissa Ball is Scotties sister. In Richlands first two games, she had 15 pts and 9 rebounds and 20 pts and 10 rebounds. Gridiron60 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like she’s going to have a really good season though. Maybe Scotty can teach her how to dunk! Loved watching him play, very entertaining.

The two games I gave her stats, they beat JI Burton 63-36 and Twin Valley 55-35. I loved watching Scottie play as well.

TwhscoachT 162 Report Share Posted December 13, 2019 What I will add is that TWHS is starting to get some momentum at the lower ranks that will be on display this year on Varsity, JV, and our Middle School affiliates. The coaching staff of the last 3-5 years has put an emphasis on M2MDefense / Motion offense at the middle school level. This has started to produce, not just players, but groups that know the game. Hopefully this will keep us competitive for a 5-7 year stretch, if not longer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graham girls are not that good so other SWD girls will have to bring up the slack this battle 😂😂😂😂! Actually Richlands and Graham girls were bottom of the bucket last year so to speak. Maybe Richlands is on the upswing with the Ball girl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Richlands returned all their key players. Not sure about Tazewell & Graham. I know Graham graduated a couple but like I said, they're not that good unless they've improved a whole lot. Tazewell lost their best player. I believe she's a starter at Bluefield State. Not sure about VA High, I'd say they've been the cream of crop in SWD probably since Richlands a few years back in girls' basketball anyway.

Granted most would consider 18 a blowout but that’s just 6 3pointers. I’ve seen some HS girls have a hot hand & put up a few 3 pointers in a single game. I’m trying to look at glass half full, Richlands has had a bad couple years in Girls’ BB, Graham really hasn’t faired much better. lol.

Did you all play Richlands back when Brittany Allen played for Richlands? I was thinking they beat practically everyone during a three year run when Palmer was coaching. I’m sure they beat Union but couldn’t remember if they ever played you all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We hadn't played Richlands in anything until the 2018 football playoff game. Played them in the Region D softball quarterfinals in 2019 and girls basketball Friday night. That's the only three all time meetings with the Blues. Lol. Gridiron60 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Allen played around 2010-2014ish then went on to Radford to play, probably didn’t each other during the Allen/Palmer reign. If the Ball girl is half as talented as her older brother, Richlands may be able to finish strong in SWD the next couple years. I think these days a lot of great players are molded in travel ball. Rec ball in most places it a joke. I’d like to see some SWD girls’ make a run at state again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
